China's five-year treasury bond futures opened mixed on Monday.

The contract for settlement in September 2016 had no trading. The contract for settlement in March 2017 opened 0.07 percent higher at 99.8 yuan (14.49 U.S. dollars). The contract for settlement in June 2017 opened at 99.32 yuan, 0.03 percent higher from the previous close.
